  • Patent number: 6947385
    Abstract: Methods and/or systems for changing the quality of service (QoS) and/or type of service for voice over IP communications. A system for changing quality of service for voice over IP communications includes a signal monitoring module for monitoring subscriber inputs representing requests for a QoS change; and a controller for implementing subscriber inputs representing requests for a QoS change. A method for changing the quality of service (QoS) during an ongoing voice over IP communication is featured. A subscriber line is monitored for a subscriber originated request for a change in QoS. When a request is received, QoS of a subscriber communication is converted utilizing codec algorithms.

  • Patent number: 5946383
    Abstract: An index Service Script Logic (SSL) is created within a Service Control Point (SCP) associated with an Intelligent Network (IN) based telecommunications network. The index SSL correlates and maintains a number of IN services with necessary Service Script Logics (SSLs) to provide different subscriber features. Thereafter, each time a particular SSL completes its execution, the control is transferred back to the index SSL to dynamically determine and to invoke the next action. When all of the associated SSLs for a desired IN service are executed, a response is provided back to the requesting service switching point (SSP) by the index SSL to effectuate the desired call treatment.

  • Patent number: 5881144
    Abstract: An application module associated with a Graphical User Interface retrieves data representing a particular Intelligent Network (IN) subscription from a Service Management Application System (SMAS). The application module thereafter interprets the retrieved subscription data by simulating the Service Script Logics (SSLs) residing within the serving Service Control Point (SCP). Relevant SSLs associated with the retrieved subscription data are identified and their relationship and hierarchy determined. The application module then displays the identified SSLs and their relationship using a graphical representation. A service provider or user is able to modify the graphical representation to make changes to the corresponding is subscription data to provide a different IN subscriber service.
